Program Information for Mammography - Undergraduate Certificate

Program Description

Full Description

The Mammography undergraduate certificate program provides education and training in digital mammography. Mammography is specialized medical imaging that is critical to early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. Technologists, also known as mammographers, are members of breast-imaging teams within health care organizations. Using low-dose x-rays, mammographers image breasts to help physicians look for or track the progress of cancer or benign growths and determine treatment. Mammographers work in hospitals, physician’s offices and other healthcare facilities.

The Mammography certificate meets requirements set by the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) for minimum didactic and clinical standards for mammographers. Graduates of the certificate are eligible to earn certification in mammography from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
